Some lesson.
We must learn the hard way.
That's why many parents works to guide us.

Except as a child.
We sometimes likes to use our own mind.

Here child?
I've have a present for you.
Your choice.
On which one you like.

A whole dollar.
Or a hundred pennies.

And like a child I went for the green.
Only later to find truth.
When my mom honestly spoked to me.

She bought truth and logic too.
When she stated I should have took the pennies.

She stated if I lost the dollar.
I would be completely broke.
But if I lost a penny.
I would still be rich.
Because people would replace a penny in a minute.

While getting another dollar might be harder.
